EMA to explore geothermal energy potential

Geothermal energy can potentially help diversify Singapore's energy sources.

During the Singapore International Energy Week, the Energy Market Authority (EMA) said it continues to strengthen the potential of harnessing geothermal energy in Singapore, following new developments in technology.

Geothermal energy could serve as an additional source of indigenous clean energy besides solar for power generation in Singapore.

With support from the National Research Foundation, EMA is working closely with Nanyang Technological University and various ministries and agencies, including the Ministry of Trade and Industry and the National Climate Change Secretariat, to explore studies on geothermal potential. These studies will focus on determining the geothermal resource potential in northern and eastern Singapore.

The exploratory studies aim to establish preliminary findings by end-2022.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
